Fresh Granny Smith Apples

Granny Smith apples are loved for their bright green colour, crisp texture and refreshing tart flavour. Their firm flesh makes them one of the most versatile apple varieties, whether you’re enjoying them as a healthy snack, slicing them into a fresh salad, baking a delicious pie or adding them to smoothies and fresh juices. At Goodies4All, we carefully source quality Granny Smith apples to ensure every bite is fresh, juicy and full of flavour.

Unlike sweeter apple varieties, Granny Smith apples have a distinctive tangy taste that pairs beautifully with both sweet and savoury dishes. They hold their shape exceptionally well during cooking, making them a favourite for apple pies, tarts, crumbles and roasted fruit recipes. Their crisp texture also makes them perfect for lunchboxes, fruit platters and cheese boards.

Fun Fact

Did you know? Granny Smith apples were first discovered in Australia in the 1860s by Maria Ann Smith, after whom the variety was named. Despite the name, they are not genetically related to other green apples—they are their own unique variety and are famous worldwide for their crisp bite and refreshing tartness.
